Its just pure BS if Bowers is ranked on the list and Hardy is not on it.

Yup and his reasoning for Bowers was strictly based on his potential this year. Sure, Bowers has the ability to get 10+ sacks this season if he can manage to stay healthy for the first time, but you're telling me Hardy in a contract year with the additions of Star and Short and better depth at DT all around doesn't scream potential to get 10 maybe 15+ sacks? He already broke 10 last year.

Hardy is going to miss the list, because the goons at espn literally don't even know who he is. All he did last year was put up 10+ sacks with one of he weakest DT groups in the league.

With Short, Star, and Edwards in the middle of the line. Charles and Hardy could go for 12+. This
Might be our best d-line since 03. Our front seven is the best in the league, and is going to make our secondary look competent. Our defense is easily top ten, and is by far the best it's been since we drafted Cam.
